Details

Product Name Parker 51 Aerometric Flighter, this is the earlier version with a gold plated band. They made this version from 1950 to 1960.

Manufacturer and Year Parker, made in USA -- 1951 (The date code is a 51 with two dots).

Length5-1/2"

Filling SystemAerometric squeeze filling system. It has been tested and is working well.

ColorBrushed steel with "lustraloy" finish and a 1-1/2" long arrow clip. The section is black and the trim is gold plated. The trim includes a raised narrow cap band. Usually these bands are flush to the surface of the cap, so this one might be a replacement since there are a few dents on the band which might have been made when it was being installed. The cap has a pearlescent cap jewel.

Condition Excellent condition. The finish is even with most of the wear on the barrel near the clutch band from capping. There is a small ding at the end of the barrel near the breather hole, and a shallow impression on the cap, but no noticeable dents in the steel. The cap band has several dents and looks a bit misshapen. The cap lip has a few tiny marks but is round. The barrel and cap imprints are clear. The pen is working well.
